The Harvest has begun...

We were encouraged the past two Sunday's to invite. From invitations 4 folks now will spend eternity in Heaven instead of Hell. Please invite those your friends that you named on the wall or in you heart. They too could be the next Harvest if you will bring them next week.

The Key to the Master’s Orders

Pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest —Matthew 9:38

The key to the missionary’s difficult task is in the hand of God, and that key is prayer, not work— that is, not work as the word is commonly used today, which often results in the shifting of our focus away from God. The key to the missionary’s difficult task is also not the key of common sense, nor is it the key of medicine, civilization, education, or even evangelizing. The key is in following the Master’s orders— the key is prayer. "Pray the Lord of the harvest . . . ." In the natural realm, prayer is not practical but absurd. We have to realize that prayer is foolish from the commonsense point of view.

From Jesus Christ’s perspective, there are no nations, but only the world. How many of us pray without regard to the persons, but with regard to only one Person— Jesus Christ? He owns the harvest that is produced through distress and through conviction of sin. This is the harvest for which we have to pray that laborers be sent out to reap. We stay busy at work, while people all around us are ripe and ready to be harvested; we do not reap even one of them, but simply waste our Lord’s time in over-energized activities and programs. Suppose a crisis were to come into your father’s or your brother’s life— are you there as a laborer to reap the harvest for Jesus Christ? Is your response, "Oh, but I have a special work to do!" No Christian has a special work to do. A Christian is called to be Jesus Christ’s own, "a servant [who] is not greater than his master" (John 13:16 ), and someone who does not dictate to Jesus Christ what he intends to do. Our Lord calls us to no special work— He calls us to Himself. "Pray the Lord of the harvest," and He will engineer your circumstances to send you out as His laborer.

Greatest Catalyst Moment

Each year at Catalyst the staff plans and prepares the schedule to give attendees what is known as the Catalyst experience. The Catalyst Experience is filled with outstanding talks by some of the foremost leaders in the Church along with comedy, crazy events and other information to move the audience to both praise God and be encouraged in their work for Him.

The theme of Catalyst 09 was On your Mark, with the question, what are you willing to do. The idea is for us to make our mark on the culture God has blessed us with we must be willing to do whatever He ask. So during this years conference the challenge to care for the 143,000,000 children around the world who suffer as orphans, lack of food/starvation and the ravages of war.

On Friday just before a presentation about adoption and caring for children Jimmy, a Rwandan child who received care from Compassion International told about how the $38.00 per month given for him brought him to Christ. Watch this clip to see what happened next. All I can say is WOW and i can't help but think about David the child Fellowship sponsors and pray that one day we will find out He too has received Jesus as Lord.

Say What You Need To Say

So some of you guys have been asking me how we got the idea to do the cards with the song Say by John Mayer. Well we can’t take full credit for the idea. I saw a church do this a while back and when we were planning for this series we thought this would fit and possibly be a very powerful way for you guys to understand how important communication is within our marriages and our relationships with other people. I hope all of you enjoyed it and my prayer for all of you is that God is speaking to you through this 3 week series. We will conclude it this Sunday with what is God’s role in the family through marriage.

Here is the VIDEO from Sunday

Hello everyone,

Wow what a day! Sunday was incredible, we had our second week in our Restore:Marriage series and it was great and a little tense and maybe awkward at times, but that is good if we are going to have outrageous marriages we need to be awkward for our spouse.

Today I’ll attempt to explain a song called The Broken & The Tired by Elevation Worship. This is one of my favorite worship albums out right now. Elevation is a church in Charlotte, NC that started a little over 3 years ago and has grown to over 7000 people in weekly attendance. You can check out the church at www.elevationchurch.org or their worship website at www.elevation-worship.com or you can download their album from iTunes HERE.

This song is evangelism at its finest. The chorus speaks to every person who has stepped across the line of salvation that God sent His Son to die so our lives could be healed from all the junk in them. I love how this song has the verses explaining how God has rescued us and brought us from death to life the chorus tells us what He did and the bridge is a prayer of confession to God and a prayer of thankfulness for His willingness to die for us.

My prayer for this song that we have sung each week during this series is that God can heal our marriages and restore them to the way He intended marriage to be. Many times in our marriage we are blind, deaf, weak, or numb but God sent His Son for us to be healed so we could dwell in His love.

The Broken and The Tired Lyrics:
When I was blind
You gave me sight
You gave me eyes to see the colors of Your sky

When I was deaf
Without a sound
You gave me ears to hear the songs of Your love

Your love is kind
Your love's the only thing that's perfect in this life

You sent Your son to die
For the broken and the tired
And You healed my life
With my hands raised high
And my heart a burning fire
I'll give my life
To dwell in Your love

When I was weak
With tired feet
You gave me strength to run the race you'd given me

When I was numb
My heart grown cold
You gave me nerves to feel the warmth of Your love


Jesus, we confess
We were lost in brokenness
Til You came and conquered death
For love
